Our Score

by Andrew Collins

Fans of E4's cult sixth-form sitcom The Inbetweeners are laser-targeted by this feature-length excursion. Written (and executive-produced) by series creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, and directed by Ben Palmer, who marshalled series two and three to TV, it simply picks up the show's much-loved suburban teens - nerdy Will (Simon Bird), lovesick Simon (Joe Thomas), oblivious Neil (Blake Harrison) and mouthy Jay (James Buckley) - and plonks them onto the Greek party town of Malia, where their hormonal insecurities play out against sun, sea and strobe lights. Although the gross-out is ramped up for the cinema and many of the situations were covered in Kevin & Perry Go Large (not to mention Carry On Abroad), a heart does beat beneath the laddish antics, and after an apparently finite three TV series, they've earned their holiday.

Summary

Awkward teenagers Simon, Will, Jay and Neil plan a holiday to the Greek island of Crete after they finish their exams, hoping to experience drink, sex and debauchery beyond their wildest dreams. However, things do not quite work out as planned. Comedy based on the TV series, with Joe Thomas, Simon Bird, James Buckley and Blake Harrison.
